Happy Christmas Vintage Greeting Card with Children in Snow

A bare winter tree stands barely visible in the distance, while in the foreground three suspiciously well-dressed children parade through snow with the coordinated smugness of tiny aristocrats who've just inherited an estate. The boy in his full sailor suit leads the procession while the middle girl — rocking a wide-brimmed hat with green pompoms and a fur muff like she's headed to a society luncheon, not a blizzard — clutches his arm with the grip of someone who absolutely did not consent to this outing. The smallest child in the green coat brings up the rear, hat flower intact, expression suggesting she has already filed a formal complaint. John Winsch, who had this masterpiece copyrighted in 1912, wanted you to know three things: children are exhausting, fur accessories are non-negotiable, and 'A Happy Christmas' rendered in elaborate jewel-toned gothic lettering will absolutely fix whatever is wrong with your holiday.
